Quadratus Lumborum Lower Back Stretch - Stick Mobility Exercise

Are your QLs being a pain in your back? Give this stretch a try to get them to loosen up. Stretches the quadratus lumborum, the rib cage, and works the whole lateral chain using a single long stick (6-7ft). The QLs are well known for being a prime source of lower back pain. However, they’re actually one part of a whole system of muscles that work together to support, stabilize and mobilize the spine. If your QLs are overworked and tense, it could because they’ve been compensating for other muscles. Try strengthening some of their “coworkers”: the erector spinae, gluteal muscles, and the muscles of your hips and core for a more permanent solution. An important thing to note is that the QLs work together, so if one is in trouble, the other one will be too!

What length stick are you using in this video? I’m 5’11” and usually around 200lbs. What would be the best length of stick to purchase? Thanks!

[@StickMobility]

Hi Justin, for your height we recommend the 7' stick for a tall single stick (and the 7'+7'+5' Bundle if you were to get the 3-stick bundle for the full range of exercises). In the video Neal is using the 6' stick as his height is just under 5'10". Thanks!
